Why Organic?

Save the Planet

• Water is contaminated in 38 states, polluting the primary source of drinking water for more than half the country’s population.

• Modern farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, consuming 12 percent of the country’s total energy supply. More energy is now used to produce synthetic fertilizers than to till, cultivate, and harvest all the crops in the US.

• Air Quality is being contaminated. Some herbicides actually evaporate into the air after application and drift for miles (still having negative effects on plant life).

• Farmers plow sewage sludge into croplands and contaminate the foods we eat.According to Cornell University soil erosion is occuring 7 times faster than it can be replaced at a cost of $44 billion a year.
